Itchy vagina postpartum after episiotomy and stitches, normal?
So im 2 weeks postpartum and I had a episiotomy and tearing so lots of stitches down there.
Im barely bleeding anymore just wearing a thin pad and get spotting here and there. BUT im extremely itchy down there. I cant itch obviously cause I dont want to hurt any remaining stitches.
I read online that it can be normal and it means my stitches are healing. Anyone had this as well? Also a bit of a strange smell going on (not foul but just unusual for me) but I was told that’s also normal postpartum?
